Django ensures that in your model class you have  at least a
default <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Manager</span></code> specified. If you don’t add your own <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Manager</span></code>,
Django will add an attribute <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">objects</span></code> containing default
<a class="reference internal" href="../../topics/db/managers.html#django.db.models.Manager" title="django.db.models.Manager"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Manager</span></code></a> instance. If you add your own
<a class="reference internal" href="../../topics/db/managers.html#django.db.models.Manager" title="django.db.models.Manager"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Manager</span></code></a> instance attribute, the default one does
not appear. Consider the following example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.db</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">models</span>
